I love cheese. This is something I have never made any secret of. I have even made it myself in varying forms. Polenta however is a polarising beast. Some people love it. Some people hate it. Mr Kidgredients hates it. But I may have convinced him with these. How? Well, it’s all about the cheese.
Before I started my blog I had a disastrous polenta chippie moment. They were greasy and soggy and an utterly unpleasant experience. But these ones- they are awesome.
More awesome than potato chips!
